How to plant ranunculus bulbs
This article guide: Experience in the aspect of green plant maintenance on how to plant ranunculus bulbs and the planting methods and timing of ranunculus bulbs, followed by a comprehensive introduction.
Ranunculus, as a perennial bulbous flower, is also known as "Persian buttercup". Its flowers have bright and rich colors, small in size, mostly double-petaled, neatly gathered together, and captivating. Let's explore the planting techniques of ranunculus bulbs today.
The planting time of ranunculus bulbs is chosen to extend the growing period; we can plant in September, or a bit later in October.
Temperature: The optimal temperature for bulb germination is between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius.
Seeding box: To facilitate management, ranunculus bulbs are often planted in seeding boxes. Before sowing, make sure to spread fertile sandy soil in the seeding box and use a board to loosen the soil for better aeration.
Sowing: Use fresh bulbs for sowing, as fresh bulbs have higher vitality. Then, sprinkle them in the seeding box, cover them with a layer of fine soil, gently press the soil with a board, and water a small amount to moisten the soil, but not too much, so the water level does not exceed the surface of the box soil.
After learning the planting techniques of ranunculus, we must also pay attention to these precautions.
Precautions for ranunculus: Pay attention to ventilation: The seeding box should be protected from direct sunlight, and if the temperature is too high in summer, it can be covered with a shading net and placed in a cool, well-ventilated environment.
Timely fertilization: Ranunculus prefers fertile soil, and it should be fertilized once every 10 days at the beginning of sowing. As the seedlings grow, the amount and concentration of fertilizer can be gradually increased.
Water management: Ranunculus loves a moist environment but beware of waterlogging. It is drought-resistant but should not be overly dry, especially in the later growth stage, as excessive drought may lead to poor bulb quality.
Disease solution: If the soil at the bottom is too moist, it can easily cause the roots to produce germs, leading to root rot disease, root decay, and the leaves of the plant will wither and turn yellow. In this case, we can shallowly transplant, use methyltobuzi to water the roots at the early stage of the disease, and immediately change pots and soil to prevent the spread of the disease.
